EXPOSED BRICK LOFT OFFICE MAKEOVER | Style Selected

[@sweetness371]

I would have loved to have seen a combination of the two rooms. The practicality of Kelsey's with the funkiness of Becky's.

[@alliehenke9091]

Totally agree! I kind of wish they would do that for every episode- incorporate a little of both ideas

[@ericab1302]

At least the rug 😍😍😍

[@klk12399]

Love your videos! A part of me doesn't like it when clients have to choose between your two designs. You both come up with such cool designs, I don't like to see one chosen over the other. Would you consider combining the best of your individual designs and come up with one design?

[@angelarizz8729]

klk12399 agreed

[@jeshurst]

Agreed. It felt a little bit awkward, especially since both designs were great.

[@caiobrosssi]

yes, me too!!!

[@ashleyhood7479]

Or maybe they could make more of a competition out of it. Either lean into it or don’t do it

[@anumtassadaq]

I was just about to write this 😅

[@secretaltruism4174]

I don't care what the comments say, I think you did the makeover really well, as it's what they would have wanted without knowing it exactly and it's practical. It's also industrial and stylish, without looking ridiculous for an office space.

[@kristyksiazek817]

I agree with you! :) Everyone on here nit picken it apart!

[@TheoRose13]

Wish the table had wheels that locked, I feel like that will be super inconvenient if it rolls when slightly bumped

[@sarahr.3241]

Theo Rose +

[@Lynsey17]

I was thinking the same thing. It's hard to see clearly enough from the video if they have locks or not but it would be really frustrating if they don't.

[@cherylrose6022]

Theo Rose I see something that looks like a lock on the wheel at 19:08 - 19:10 but I'm not sure. Maybe they just didn't realize or use it

[@alliehenke9091]

I have one of those carts and the wheels don’t lock but I love it! It was super convenient actually, and if you have enough stuff on it holding it down it should be fine!

[@alaaarrabi9550]

I thought it better to have rug under it to contr moving wheels

[@sweet648]

The cinema chairs would of fit so great instead of the grey sofa. Would of been so cool!

[@gloria_vdc]

Florence Garceau would have*

[@sweet648]

klinecks boo thank you! My english is not perfect 👌🏻

[@gloria_vdc]

Didn't mean to be rude... your English is good !

[@sweet648]

klinecks boo it’s ok, i appreciate it! ☺️

[@judithschwarz6615]

Agreed! Don’t get why they don’t just take the elements that they point out they love the most about the other design.

[@ReadyMadeBouquet]

ooh ooh, what if there was a component of Style Selected called like 'style swap' or some cute name I can't come up with at the moment, where the client chose their favorite element of the not chosen design?

[@theowletblog]

YES THIS!! I feel like the client always says that they like something from the other design too.

[@masha7377]

They have done mixes before. It's a decision they made to have this little "competition" and also it's not that easy because they each follow a concept for their ideas. E.g. Becky went for "romantic industrial" and Kelsey for "rustic industrial" which doesn't really mix.

[@amxranthine]

This is an excellent idea!

[@Heyssup]

Idk if it’s just me but Becky’s designs are always IT for me 😩😩😍😍😍

[@JENerationDIY]

Love this series!!

[@nicolegitonga9270]

you and me both sis

[@stamat1a]

JENerationDIY Oh my hi Jen. Recently found your comment somewhere else too! So kind of you to support!

[@sarahmarie8056]

Hey Jen!!

[@samirarehman7012]

JENerationDIY ugh, the Queens. 💖

[@casey5030]

Love your room makeover too!!!

[@jessm.5385]

Black out curtains so they can use the projector screen... but the curtains block the screen when closed. So you can either have black out with no screen usage or screen usage with the bottom window unblocked. Hmm. Looks like a problem was created. Not solved.

[@nanaboo0605]

Jess M. The black out curtains are for when they film! The projector screen blocks off enough light to use without curtains

[@TheSorryGirls]

Exactly! :)

[@jessm.5385]

TheSorryGirls k. Sorry. The video seemed to say the curtains were to block light for projector viewing purposes.

[@mjmjmj3046]

I thought that the backlight from the window would affect the projection, thus the blackout curtains (which I thought was gonna be behind the projector screen too).

[@sarahr.3241]

Jess M. +

[@marybethduke3263]

I think I've finally got this figured out after binge watching multiple episodes....Becky absolutely NAILS the personality that the spaces need and Kelsey nails the simplistic function.

[@secretaltruism4174]

When you're sanding, especially that much, use masks. And use masks when mixing concrete.

[@MakingAndFixing]

I totally agree. When ever you are sanding, no matter what the material is, use a mask.

[@sarahr.3241]

+

[@blairalexis]

The desks look amazing! I was so happy when everything went as planned! But Maddie brings up a really important point - you want a N95 particulate matter mask or respirator; a t-shirt or cloth is ineffective for the fine particles you get from cement.

[@dawnbe_well7626]

Yes! I learned this the hard way. Literally would cough up blue sputum for months after sanding paint off a dresser without a mask.... 😕 I still wonder what long term affects may have occurred from that! 😧

[@Kaalokalawaia]

Yeah Maddie you are right. They won't pay now but they will later. That dust is no joke.

[@secretaltruism4174]

Don't vacuum fine dust like concrete or plaster, it will destroy your vacuum as it clogs the filters. Use a damp cloth instead.

[@kiki29073]

Use a shop wet dry shop vac.

[@limespider8]

Good to know! Also explains why I've broken so many vacuums since I started DIY!

[@lindsayr5734]

I would LOVE an DIY for dummies video with a tutorial on like hanging with wall anchors and easy stuff like that!!!!!!!

[@kunatheory]

whoaaaaa in love with the concrete tables and kelsey at 13:42 so so so sooooo much. wish you guys can fit the movie theater chairs in somewhere though!

[@isabelshutes2722]

Kelsey: handkerchiefs can also double as masks!! everyone in 2020: that's good...wright that down

[@b00026337]

A 3 mm raised metal edge framing around the edge of the table and then you poor in the concrete! Levelled, no sanding, no cracking! Nonetheless; great job!

[@sarahr.3241]

Rami Alotaibi +

[@saraammoura]

could it be made out of wood? I've seen some projects were they use wood as mold to the concrete. It's cheap and easy. I would like to try it out one day.

[@LauraDeconstructed]

You should have added a rug to stop the echo when they film

[@LauraDeconstructed]

hahaha, men are children though! they dont decorate.... did you see the room before????

[@robinanna5531]

@@LauraDeconstructed sexist much?

[@miss_xenia_]

They probably had a budget 🤷‍♀️ plus they were filming in there before and didn’t have a rug or curtains anyway.

[@RamblingsofGeo]

Girls you really need to wear masks and ventilate to room when sanding! A handkerchief isnt good enough, masks dont cost alot and are really important do you dont get breathing problems. Xx

[@haoyingsun6599]

No I dont agree A piece of cloth is breathable and will prevent you from breathing in anything

[@kayenacur]

@@haoyingsun6599 you're wrong. A t-shirt will not stop fine dust particles. Please protect your lungs from fine dust, it could literally save your life.

[@mariel7475]

reading this in 2021

[@benab229]

oof the part where the choose which idea to do is always so awkward and cringe

[@jestjade2520]

Elivo Wang wouldn’t be cringe if the person who got rejected would take the hit easily and not be a child about it. But I see what you mean.

[@lapink10]

Yeah they should not tell the client which idea belongs to whom

[@lizverena3657]

I felt tenssion between both.

[@illiniwu]

It's fake though. They decide behorehand. How else would they able to jump right in and start the design?

[@imthe-1891]

Like my life awkward and cringe 🤣

[@hannahippo]

I'm a producer at an ad agency and our desks have outlets built into them which makes it extremely convenient for chargers, hard drives, etc. Having DIY outlets "built into" the desks would've been great for them too!

[@calliphoridaelucilia7679]

this is easily my favourite style selected ever. the comments are always so nit-picky! the transformation of this space was phenomenal.

[@callyballybee]

I so wish this had had elements of both! Kelsey's desk setup, the cinema seating, the projector AND the communal table would've been so cool

[@gothempress]

This was an awesome space flip! Was wondering how you guys addressed the storage issue? I really love how you styled this room.

[@Glitterforest]

I was wondering that too but when I looked back at the before shot, I think the solution was the filing cabinets under the desks. They didn't seem to have a lot of stuff to begin with so that looked like it was enough to fill their needs. Also they can always replace some of the more decorative items on the shelf with bins or boxes for extra storage.

[@isabel3857]

Boss Darcie I guess the drawers under the desks and the shelves above them created enough storage :)

[@TheSorryGirls]

Yep! The filing cabinets worked perfectly for them to store their stuff.

[@gothempress]

Awesome! I had envisioned something like baskets and stuff, didn't think about the fact that filing cabinets can be used for....filing and storage! haha!

[@Areeba.324]

Hey! You girls did an awesome job. I do wish you had combined both Kelsey and Becky's ideas. It would have taken the office to the next level.

[@aubrieparker1238]

Just found you guys and BECKY I CANT TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU IN THIS VID. Everything about your look is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@tomboyz151]

16:53 Mr. Kate be like: "JUXTAPOSITION!!!" 😂😂😂

[@MiMi-ux4yo]

I love the cement table top but i'm worried that since its such a thin layer of cement it might crack some day when you drop a heavy cup on it.

[@emeveraert]

Was also worried and wondering about that...

[@Eadig]

Great look! Wish you guys had re-painted the white walls and repaired them a little though.

[@user-ys7md2jv6k]

Eadig with those spaces you aren't allowed to paint

[@musicechoes21]

Usually if you aren't allowed to paint rental walls you aren't allowed to put big holes (like screws for curtain rods or shelving) in them either. Maybe there was another reason for not touching up the walls?

[@MazzyMadness]

Probably a time issue. If they painted they’d have to wait for it to dry before moving anything in

[@maddiefleurs9659]

Becky's idea was AMAZING THOUGH, the movie theater seats? clever and gorgeous af (sorry Kelsey)

[@JASMinkjan]

Please use better protection against fine dust if you try this!

[@shesaid20]

I loved the industrial masculine feel to that room. Oh how I wish you had used black curtains. So much white.. it needed that extra black to pull it all together. I am going to use the cement idea like as soon as possible.. Really really liked it.

[@HalliesComut]

At the two minute mark Becky's highlight is BLINDING!!!

[@nikkicole54321]

not really understanding why people are upset that the clients have to choose between the two designs when thats part of the premise of the STYLE SELECTED series. -_-

[@limespider8]

Because the client often likes parts of BOTH designs, but they are forced to choose only one. Just so the series can create a sense of false tension. Hundreds of viewers have complained about this, and I think it's worth listening to feedback. I am also really keen to see more from Becky!

[@astrocutie37]

congrats on your SHORTY AWARD!!! this video is proof enough you guys deserved it!

[@beccaMLS]

LOVE IT!! Countertop grade cement with pigment would look epic on a desk like that!

[@Glitterforest]

I love the way this turned out!! You two did an awesome job! I hope there are more videos like this in the future! The only thing I would have added were locks on the wheels of the moving table so it could be locked in place. The way it rolled around would drive me crazy lol. PS. Becky, I love your outfit with the black turtleneck and grey hat! Soooo cute!!

[@SofiaCavalcante]

BECKY WAS ROBBED!!! SHE IS SO TALENTED!!!! BECKY, COME DECOR MY ROOM!!

[@jennapatel5531]

Could you guys make a video on how to make a big greenhouse!!? I would really love that! Xx

[@emeveraert]

Would love to see this!

[@cmarq817]

I loved Becky’s cinema chair idea! So funky!

[@TheDevilDarling]

I loved this room, it looks so cool. I actually really like the Becky vs Kelsey room design thing, i like seeing the different ideas they both have. They can always combine them afterwards, like adding the cinema chairs into Kelseys design, if the client wants but only providing one option for the client would be a bit of a cop out because if theres something the client doesn't like they cant say no. Atleast this way they get to pick which they like best and dont have to put up with one design they have no say in.

[@UsernamesForDummies]

Blackout curtains in front of the screen? I don’t get it. But I love the design ideas.

[@xswtmiseryx07]

Curtains are there for filming, not for the screen. When people use film lights, they generally block out natural light so they can have the same consistency of light especially with green screens.

[@jbeastly96]

I love this makeover, there is so much hate here which is a shame because these girls are awesome and they put their heart and soul into all their DIYs/makeovers. If you don't like it, don't watch it and don't waste anyone's time commenting useless and unproductive hate. Becky and Kelsey, keep killing it, you do an amazing job!

[@JessRodriguez1111]

Becky’s ideas are always so artistic, I can’t wait for when one of her designs gets chosen. Kelsey’s are nice too but I love the colors that Becky incorporates

[@lamasympa6312]

I love how you included your diys in their office ! You guys are so good at doing room makeovers, you should definitely do a whole business out of it and more videos like this one ! Amazing work and video girls ! 😍

[@Petra-P]

yes it looks cool, but so many aspects seem too impractical, if there was put a little more thought this would be legit so awesome, but i feel like in a week they will get annoyed by the tabletops that are clearly NOT smooth and that has to be annoying for people who actually work on the table, or that there is light coming from under the projector screen and instead of putting a pull-down blackout curtain you went for regular curtains that dont help with blacking out when youre using the projector.. or the table in the middle is extremely easily movable, the one they had was extra sturdy, you cant even lean on this one with wheels or put down heavy stuff.. and the plants are dead in a week.

[@lovespin4854]

and all the knick knack things just laying on the shelves ready to fall off or fall over. So much of that should have been put up on the wall to get it off the shelf so the shelf can be used as a shelf and not just a place to lean things they don't need against the wall.

[@forestque1531]

They actually chose great plants for that space. They are hardy and don’t need a lot of light or water. As long as they are occasionally watered they should be fine. It’s not like the curtains are going to be closed 24/7

[@meganoconnor1762]

The room looks great!! But I don’t understand, the curtains are in front of the screen?

[@tgwthfy]

they explained in the video that the curtains are for when they are filming in the studio, to block out natural lighting

[@crystalharris9076]

It looks amazing I would like a more in depth tutorial of the cemented desk and i loved the remote projector

[@TravelWithTats]

Omg those cordless sanders. "drool emoji"

[@maddieroxx4eva]

Im a bit confused by the curtains, wouldnt you want them to cover up the window behind the projector screen when you pull it down? I like how it turned out though

[@serenaplacier]

Becky that HIGHLIGHT THO??? 🤩

[@KimberlyProza13]

LOVE this makeover! A very cool office that will allow them to be more productive and inspired. I think the floor could do with an area rug, for the table in the middle, but that's something they can do on their own. Incorporating past DIYs was a fun addition to the space too. Great work, ladies!

[@ActuallyAlli]

I am loving this series! I cannot wait for more! And this office makeover was so cool! I loved how creative you were with the concrete desks

[@paigemcdonagh]

I wish you guys would create a design together :/

[@jestjade2520]

Paige yeah so when one of them gets rejected, it’s not cringe af. It wouldn’t be so cringe if they accepted rejection better.

[@jamalrana4159]

Wow love the industrial look and them desks 😍

[@jennyreed3331]

It looks so good! A lot more spacious and modern looking.

[@herronchrisannc]

the faux concrete table is soooo good!!

[@carlyh6913]

I loved kelseys plan, so practical and industrial

[@brennalindsay]

There's so much irony in 2018 Kelsey giving us the pro tip of a handkerchief doubling as a mask. It's also cool how this was your first time drilling into brick and now you're literally drilling into the walls and floors of your office.

[@mommygarcia9137]

Kelsey always has the best ideas !!!

[@cinnabon124]

I wonder how awkward it must be for Becky :o

[@blackcatproductions3]

Both girls are very talented and both have amazing ideas!

[@shwetasingh5164]

i loved Becky's Idia most of the time! her design sense is very unique and organic! But Kelsey did the good job too :)

[@maddiefleurs9659]

Kelsey is talented but Becky is super creative and original

[@yaseminoruc3910]

I would have chosen Becky's idea if it was for me. I think they have different way of thinkings and that's totally ok!

[@dreamelatte]

Hey Becky and Kelsey, do you watch Homemade Modern on youtube? He does A LOT of big concrete projects that I think you'd be interested in seeing for future DIYs. Great job btw :)

[@kiera_g]

i feel like becky looked so hurt when her design wasn’t chosen lol i liked hers better tbh, it was so cute !!

[@DiBonMartin]

Ladies! Health and safety! Both of you should be wearing PPE. Don't promote unsafework

[@nailpolish6028]

The room looks really good! Good job! But it feels like its asking for a rug in the middle

[@lenora2545]

Didn’t the cement sanding settle lots of dust on the black shelving 😲 Turned out amazing 👍💜

[@kimberlycuthbert2510]

I’m literally in love with this series.

[@wendywendy8157]

It's great that you give clients an option to choose and discuss prior to the redo unlike a lot of other similar shows where they're like "I know what will work, screw the client, they'll only see it in the end, no discussion". I think the reveal part in those kind of shows has really worn out. Though to keep it fun, I'd just love it if you could use the parts from the losing design that the clients liked in the actual work. Kinda like a compromise or even like a surprise for the client "we know you liked this idea from that design, so we decided to still incorporate it". (like you did with the piece of framed wallpaper in that other episode)

[@rosacoria5629]

I❤️❤️❤️❤️ the way you girls made those desks.. amazing room 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@itsmenoraadnan]

The curtains are infront of the screen. They’re gonna cover the projector screen aren’t they?

[@secretaltruism4174]

Becky literally says in the video that the curtains are for filming, the projector screen is for film screenings for clients.

[@abbynash1523]

the projector screen isn't always there, they pull it down over the curtains most likely

[@julianna-2384]

itsmenoraadnan I thought the same thing literally as they were putting the curtains up. They should have put the projector screen above the curtains

[@caeleybaines7376]

I agree even if its for filming i would hate that bit of light when watching the projector

[@perennials118]

It would have been good to install a mini set of curtains to go on the bit of window that was still exposed underneath the projector screen

[@HomeChannelTV]

Such an improvement and A LOT more organized. Nice job!

[@GagePurdy]

y’all are literally my favorite! love love y’all’s personalities!

[@ShesBaking]
